| Hi all. I am having a bit of a crisis over the hardwood floors I selected for my home renovation. These floors will be throughout the home, so I want to make sure I will be happy with them. I selected engineered Brazilian Walnut by Johnson Hardwoods. The concern I have is there seems to be a huge variation between the actual sample I looked at when I purchased the floors and the Johnson website. Take a look . . .
The one on the left is the actual sample and the one on the right is the image from Johnson's site. The floor vendor is telling me that I have to look at the actual sample, but I'm still feeling nervous. Has anyone experienced this same issue? Or installed these specific floors and could share a picture? |

| Is it possible that the image provided by the website is the same wood in a different stain (or without any stain) than the sample you had? |

| Hi, I have two Johnson Brazilian Walnut engineered samples in my showroom right now. They both look more like the picture on the right. Normally I would agree with your floor supplier because the online pictures are often not true to color. In this case I have to disagree. The sample on the left looks old. It may have been displayed in a window. If you've bought the floor, open up a box and see what it looks like. If you bought wood based on the sample color, it doesn't match, and you don't like it, You'll need to return what you bought and find something else. |

| Hi duchamp. I had the same thought about the stain color, but Johnson only has this version of Brazilian Walnut on their site and the specs from my dealer match exactly. JFCWood - thanks so much for the helpful feedback. I've contacted my flooring dealer to see if he can cancel the order and have them send a single box to examine. |

| Sounds like a good plan. If you want me to send you an iPad picture of my two samples e-mail me at tim@jfcwood.com. |
